NEW DELHI: The fate of the AAP government’s odd-even scheme is likely to be decided on Monday, when the Delhi high court takes a call on whether to end it or allow it to run till January 15. A report of the Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA), tabled by the Delhi government in court on Friday, has recommended that the scheme be extended beyond January 15 but the Delhi government is unlikely to go along.
Transport minister Gopal Rai, who was in the court, later told TOI that the government will think about a second phase only after analysing the data from the current one. "It’s not practical to have the second phase any time soon. January 26 is coming up, followed by school examinations. We need to have adequate infrastructure in place before implementing the campaign again," he said.
